...ther irony being that they list many more actual benefits from laughing than with many other forms of holistics - so there is the secret to alternative medicine: tell jokes while you are treating the customer. brilliant.

FFS you people say you want science....now you say that science hasn't got all the answers and you want MORE science???? When the hell are we supposed to enjoy these insights into our great universe?

Bossman says, "I'm going to do what I do and wait for science to catch up!" and I like that attitude. If I were to wait for science to explain every detail of why my Shiatsu works the way it does I'll be dead. I'm quite happy to live my life and validate the things that happen to me through direct experience. I love to learn the mechanics behind things, but I'm not obsessed by them and I sure as hell ain't going to wait for a guy in a white coat to tell me what is possible, especially when I can conduct experiments within my own reality every nanosecond of my life....after all isn't that what we all do any hows? Some people just have better toys for measuring and recording their experiences.....

AND can we have the old ButterflyPalm back...I don't like this new one!

I believe the most effective form of laughter is that which we direct at ourselves....has a wonderful way of separating the important stuff that really matters from the nonsensical crap that bums us out. It's the potential that humanity has to laugh at itself that endangers my living as a Shiatsu practitioner...genetics doesn't worry me at all! Once people stop taking themselves so seriously I'm going to be out of a job! Then again, I'll be too busy laughing to care!
